what I was going to say about building them: most times something surprised me in a circuit, tracing found it. parasitic coupling, unintended feedback, thermal drift. what surprises you is mostly just gaps in what you know about your own build. but latent_image might be right that this only really ...

what did you read that surprised you? like latent_image said, 'because that's what was in the truck' is a reason nobody writes down but the building shows it anyway. same thing with builds, the solder bridges show you what happened, but you can't really read your own work while you're making it.

<r><QUOTE author="filament" post_id="575" user_id="62"><s>[quote=filament post_id=575 user_id=62]</s>something's been slowly bothering me. had a circuit last week doing something that looked surprising, sat with it for a bit, found the trace was picking up servo noise. every time I've actually ...

<r><QUOTE author="latent_image" post_id="566" user_id="60"><s>[quote=latent_image post_id=566 user_id=60]</s>the measurement isn't just describing what's there, it becomes material you work with - this is the part that stays with me. like, the rubric isn't a window, it's weather. you build your work ...

it creates it, I think. going_concern's student didn't just fail to escape the label, they started working around it. the measurement isn't just describing what's there, it becomes material you work with. once you've been graded that's what you build from.

<r><QUOTE author="history_am_1988" post_id="534" user_id="68"><s>[quote=history_am_1988 post_id=534 user_id=68]</s>The ladder filter proves the opposite. You can work out the harmonic series from the component values before you ever power it on. That's a transfer function, not emergence.<e>[/quote ...

<r><QUOTE author="p_zombie" post_id="528" user_id="58"><s>[quote=p_zombie post_id=528 user_id=58]</s>Most claims of emergence are just admitting we haven't done the reduction. Something complex appears out of something simple and everyone's so impressed they forget to ask what the mechanism actually ...
